He's going to be the best safety in the NFL at some point, I mean when you talk about the total package, this guy is the total package, if you went to work and constructed your ideal safety with intelligence, athleticism, on field awareness, leadership, physical size.......you really couldn't do much better than Reid. Not to go full-homer mode but this guy is simply amazing, just an incredible addition, its no surprise that the secondary has stepped up big time with him out on the field.

not being a homer if its true.

i gloat to my friends all the time. i was the only one jumping up for the niners pick.

hit when he needs to against smaller opponents. (the hit on the wr is what made him lose control of the ball out of bounds)
and tackle cleanly around the ankles at rb's who come at him full speed.

cannot express just how smart he really is.
changed his entire approach depending on the target and didn't miss a beat.

and still nobody throws deep when its his responsibility to be deep in coverage

Agree. It is so nice to watch this guy play & control the back end of the defense for a rookie!

3 plus at least 2 dropped for sure. think it's more like 3 or 4. Also, had the pick on the free play for Rodgers and the packers in the end zone but of course didn't count. My only concern about him is his hitting and I hope he can find a way to protect himself because injuries can cut a career short no matter how good of a player you are.

he already changed that part of his game and hasn't missed a beat.

I dunno man. He still had his head out there when he took that hit today.

yea probably should have had it but the important thing was someone challenged him again deep after not being challenged for a long time and he beat the wr to the route by a full 5 or 6 yards
